- In this video I go over what I've been working on including scenery, track work, and even do some test running of a Kato SD70MAC DC locomotive.
Shoutout to @SouthernAlbertaRail for teaching me how to make my own rock molds as well as how to make trees! Only 1,989 trees left to make!
Background is looking fantastic by @tracksidescenery !!
This is looking great! Like the rock work a lot. Water areas should be "cool" 😊
Nice update 🛤️🚂🎥👍👍👍.
Greetings Gert
Thanks!
New to the channel Dr K…nice layout your building…good looking rock work
Thank you very much! Welcome to the channel!
I don't think I'll ever stop loving that rock work, they just look soooo good
Glad I did that brown wash as you suggested!!!!
Wow! nice layout! Going to look awesome when finished, I'm going to follow your build, will give me some ideas on my N scale build I am doing. I bought the Woodland Scenic Ridge kit but I am modifying it so it does not look anything like the Ridge layout. (wasted my money).
Looking good. Those Woodland Scenics Incline/Declines are great. We also have some of their 2% on our layout.
Yeah they work great! Really takes the guesswork out of it! I'll check out your channel ASAP!
Regarding industries, when thinking about what industries would be good for my layout, I ask myself:
1- what is going to be delivered to the industry? and where is it coming from (another industry/facility on my layout or coming onto layout from an interchange track)?
2- what will they ship out? and is it headed to another industry or facility or my layout is it leaving the layout via an interchange track?
Example: if i have a bakery, it won't be realistic for the flour, sugar, packaging materials, etc. to ALL come from my other industries. Some or all should be coming from other railroad via interchange track. And vice versa for the products they make.
A variation is that you dont know whats in every car related to every industry. You just know the ABC Manufacturing gets one chemical tank car & 1 enclosed hopper weekly and they send out 2 box cars weekly of finished product. Still very fun to switch them!
I hope this helps with your planning. And remember its your railroad so everything diesnt need to be "prototypical".
That comment was extremely helpful in my planning process! I think a lumber facility could be cool and may be able to incorporate my mill structure as well somewhere else on the layout.
I agree completely with some products coming from / going to interchanges / off the layout.
So wicked!
Thanks!!
great plans and nice work! set up looks pro, great lighting :)
Thank you so much!!!
Love it. Is that EZ track or Uni Track?
Thanks!! I’m using Kato Unitrack throughout.
Nice. I love your layout @@Dr.K_N.Scaler
You put me to shame! You’ve accomplished a lot despite two kids and an often demanding and time consuming occupation. The only thing I ever accomplished was a bare wood skeleton of an L girder oval during the years I was working. Good on you!
Love you’re developing another generation of model railroaders.
What curve radius did you use for the flowing S curves?
It’s a mix of different Kato double track super elevated curves. Some are a bit wider than others and I mixed and matched sections as well as easements.
I was hoping you could be a bit more specific. I’ve not seen anything this nice with the super elevated track.
The old adage “imitation is the sincerest form of flattery” would be appropriate here.@@Dr.K_N.Scaler
@@grumpy1814 I’ll try to get you all the info in an update video! 👍🏻👍🏻
